Icy Dock builds accessories for storage products. The product line consists primarily of drive cages, but there are some external enclosures as well. The company has enjoyed success with both small and, in recent years, large drive count products used to adapt hard disk drives and solid state drives into 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch bays.

Today we take a deep dive into two of the latest high capacity storage enclosures from the company. The MB998IP-B is the latest 5.25-inch bay 8-drive enclosure with mini-SAS connectivity. It's nearly identical to a previously released model that used eight standard SATA connectors to add drives to your system. For those of you that don't remember and wonder what the covers on your computer are for, a 5.25-inch bay used to house optical media drives, like CD and DVD ROMs.
